Klaus is a simple, web-based Git viewer written in Python that runs on UNIX systems under Apache, Lighttpd, or anything else that supports CGI or WSGI. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Klaus on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, make sure you have the following installed:
To start, open the terminal on your Ubuntu Server Latest and run the following command to clone the Klaus Git repository:
git clone https://github.com/jonashaag/klaus.git
This will create a new directory "klaus" in your current directory.
Next, navigate to the "klaus" directory and install Klaus using pip.
cd klaus
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install
If you don't have pip installed, you can install it with the following command:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
By default, Klaus starts on port 8080. To change the port number, create a new file called "klaus.cfg" in the "klaus" directory and add the following configuration:
[http]
host = 0.0.0.0
port = 80
This will start Klaus on port 80. Change the port number as you wish.
To start Klaus, run the following command in the "klaus" directory:
python klaus.py /path/to/repo.git
This will start Klaus and show the Git repository at the given path. To access Klaus from a web browser, open the IP address of your Ubuntu Server Latest and use the port number you have set in the klaus.cfg file.
That's it! You have successfully installed Klaus on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine. You can now browse your Git repositories using Klaus. Feel free to explore and customize further according to your needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
